While the rest of retailers still entangled in the plastic bag provided for a fee or to switch to paper bags, the Brazilian retailers are more than two choices lead to say "no."

 

   For Brazilian retailers, they have better options - bio plastic bags. And their choices to enter the Brazilian market for the bio-bag opens up opportunities.

 

   Recently, the Austrian bio plastic bag manufacturers Cardia Bioplastics (hereinafter referred to as Cardia) harvested its pot of gold in the Brazilian market - a large order from Brazil's retail tycoon Drogaria Araujo. The company intends to purchase 1.25 million bio-plastic shopping garbage bags to Cardia.

 

   As Brazil's fourth-largest supermarket chain, Drogaria Araujo owns 120 retail stores serve customers every year 38 million people. After some deliberation, the company finally decided to abandon paper and switch to bio-plastic Cardia provided to better serve consumers.

 

   It is reported that, Drogaria Cardia move will provide a value of $ 400,000 is big business. But also for the further development of bio-plastic in the Brazilian market to pave the way.

 

   The European Parliament's Environment Committee recently approved a one-time reduction in the amount of light plastic garbage bags used reports. The report recommends the establishment of a two-step goal in the EU 28 member states to reduce the use of plastic garbage bags and promote the European Parliament and of the relevant laws packaging waste in the revision process.

 

   Light is the thickness of plastic garbage bags of 50 microns or less, such garbage bags to the land and water in Europe poses a threat. The European Parliament has concluded that discarded plastic garbage bags will pollute the soil and water, resulting in the death of many marine organisms.

 

   According to Environment News Service website reported, he wrote: "These garbage bags are usually slip through the waste management system, and often fragmented form of accumulation in the environment for hundreds of years if not slipping through the net, they will be sent. to landfill is not conducive to resource efficiency and solve the pollution problem. "

 

   In 2010 alone, European waste plastic garbage bags over 8 billion, the average European use of plastic garbage bags 198, of which 90% are lightweight disposable plastic bags.

 

   Per capita use of disposable plastic garbage bags in different Member States of the European Union vary widely. The best performance in Denmark and Finland, the average per person per year only four bags; but in Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), the annual per capita use of plastic garbage bags up to 466.

 

   The European Commission is currently most likely to choose 3, in the report described as "common place all successful in reducing plastic bag consumption policy."

 

   The report recommends the use of plastic bags, two-step reduction measures, that in the relevant law enforcement will reduce the use of plastic garbage bags by 50% within three years after entry into force, and in the subsequent five years (around 2020) by 80%. The goal is to based on the EU per capita consumption of plastic garbage bags enacted, so different EU countries for the compliance effort will vary.

 

   To achieve this goal, the report recommends that EU member states need to ensure at least food retailers charge for plastic bags, replacing the previous policy of free distribution. Specifically, how fees are decided by the member states themselves.

 

   But the new measures do not have protection against food hygiene function of plastic bags, such as garbage bags of fresh meat and fresh fish. The implementation of this measure may make some Europeans lose their jobs. The report estimates that there are 250-300 EU plastic bag manufacturer, a total 15000-2 million for its work. Most of these manufacturers are small and medium sized family business, details of these people know little about the business of the report also pointed out that they may not get the opportunity to speak on this issue.

 

   Wrote: "At present 70% of the non-degradable disposable plastic garbage bags on the market are mainly imported from Asia, Option 2 and Option 3 the negative impact brought to Europe will be within the controllable range." The European Parliament this a unanimous vote of the amendments will be in April.

 

   Lightweight plastic garbage bags to the land and water poses a threat, discarded plastic garbage bags will pollute the soil and water, resulting in the death of many marine organisms, this situation has caused around the world attention. Due to advances in technology, biodegradable garbage bags resistance to tearing, puncture resistant, waterproof, printable, flexible features and performance gap is not traditional plastic bags, will gradually replace traditional plastic packaging.
